"We need to narrow down the hardware similarities."
There are no hardware similarities.
It's happening with Intel and AMD CPUs, nVidia and ATI GPUs, single and multi-GPU systems..
GTX 650 Ti BOOST SC x2
Phenom 955 Black
M5A99X EVO
8gb RAM
Windows 7 Pro x64
Kingston SSD (Did it with my Raptor before replacing it too)
Can't even get thru the first campaign mission.
While you are partly right that there are different hardware configs, it seems obvious that mostly NV users have this problems. Same with the memory leak bug, where mostly HD5000/6000 owners had the problem, but also some NV users.
